IMPROVED SORGHUM-EVAPORATOR.

@this Sdgshuls nimh in in tiges Enters man nnb making wt nf ttf tame.

Be it known that I, THOMAS GILLESPIE, Jr., of-Iaulding county, in the State of Ohio, have invented a new Machine for Reducing Sorghum and other Sirups; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same.

The nature of my invention consists of the furnace A, by means of which heat is generated and caused to pass through the tubes B, the same passing through the tank O containing water, which is thereby kept at a boiling temperature, over which the pan D, containing the sorghum or other sirup, is placed, and is, by means of the boiling water in the tankC, gradually,- and without a possibility of burning, reduced to Sirup. The tank C is supplied with water from the reservoir E by means of the gauge-cock F, the stack Gr, by means of the pipe H, allowing the steam to escape freely, and thereby securing it from all danger offexplosion. The cock I is for drawing ofi' the sorghum or other sirups after being reduced. Y

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the furnace A, tubes B, and tank C, substantially as described. I
